Throughout the week I work with several local community centers providing wellness programming for seniors. And today, after nearly two months away from one of these centers (due to construction) I walked into a room of people who had missed me and - more importantly - the work that we do together. We hugged, we laughed, we held space for each other's sorrow/difficulty (personal, political, and then some). And at the front of the room, placed in my chair, was this stunning blanket that one of these lovely souls had crocheted for mi during our time apart as a gift from the class/group.
I do the work that I do because I KNOW that it helps people, it supports them in their journeys toward wellness (whatever that looks like for them), and allows mi - in whatever small way - to connect with them and have an impact on the quality of their lives.
In turn, I find myself walking in my Purpose and being fulfilled in ways that no other "job" could come close to. I hope that one day iam able to finesse, rather cultivate, this work - this feeling - into something widespread and wildly lucrative. But regardless, and until then, iam PROFOUNDLY thAnkhFull for every soul that allows mi the Honor and opportunity to be a part of their own growth and life's unfolding. iam deeply and truly blessed... and incomprehensibly grateful for it.
